    Inappropriate nurses?

    Apple-Core replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Inappropriate nurses?

    Apple-Core replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I absolutely agree that tone of voice can totally make a comment or sentence come over as completely different. In fact, tone probably has more impact than the words themselves. So, let's assume the...

    Inappropriate nurses?

    Apple-Core replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maricopa Comm College CEP Fall 2017 Applicants

    Apple-Core replied to MiladyMalarkey's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi there - If you enroll in the CEP, there is no wait list - it is competition based. Hence, your GPA, previous degree, and HESI scores are all really important in getting a place. If you enroll in...

    You apply each year for every year you are a student. I wouldn't even worry about what degree you're doing, how long it is etc...just apply online (make sure you are using the actual government...

    Financial aid

    Apple-Core replied to khalidmou's topic in General Students

    Your college should have a financial aid department that can assist you. If you applied for FAFSA, then you will have to re-apply every year. FAFSA will either approve or deny your submission, but it...

    Apple-Core replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    If you're saying you *literally* have had a taste of poop in your mouth for 9 years, then I strongly suggest a dentist. If you're being satirical and saying your experience at the nursing home left...
